John Goto is an artist who uses photo collage as his chosen media. I have chosen to write about his work due to the cutout nature of his work - linking this in with the rest of the research that I have been looking at, as well as the cut and stick nature of his work in this particular project 'high summer' there is also a satirical/dark atmosphere that features in his work which appeals to me. In this particular image there appears to be an imminent unveiling of a statue, which appears to be in the shape of a phalic symbol, I think this could be a reference to the inherently patriarchal society that is apparent in the UK, especially with what appear to be important men being interviewed around the statue.
